Do PureX cues not have real points and real veneers?

I found this PureX cue the other day, for cheap, at a pawn shop.

From afar, I thought it was some high end McDermott, with an i3 shaft, lol.

Turns out that it is just a PureX cue, with a McDermott i3 shaft attached to it.

Anyways, I was just giving PureX a shout out on Reddit, because I thought the cue looks very high quality, and this guy (who says he worked for Ozone billiards) comes along, and tells me that the entire cue is basically just made of Graphics / Overlays, lol.

Maybe I am just showing yet again that I am a complete fool, but everything aboitbthus cue looks real, with all natural woods, to me.

He told me that the points were not real, and that the entire cue was basically all a graphic design, lol.

Automatically, I was thinking, if the points abd veneers are just a graphic design, then why would they be uneven, and flawed at the ends?

Graphic / Overlay cues would not have uneven, abd flawed veneers and flawed points, right?

Please tell me that I did not make a complete fool of myself yet again, with the belief that everything in this cue was made with real woods, and real points abd veneers?

I understand that it is a dirt cheap cue, but it is not a graphic designed cue, with overlays, right?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Why do you think that?

Same reason why CNC cues look perfect. Perfectly even points, perfectly even everything. Would be even easier for Graphic / Decal cues to look perfectly even, right? Or, am I just a fool? I guess I am. These Graphics really fooled me. I am just an idiot, lol. Whatever the case, it seems like a high quality cue. It is very old, and it is still dead straight. They must have done something right.

There is no reason to get so nasty.

That was a pretty sick reply.

I am only trying to learn.

On the Billiards Warehouse site, there is a Graphics series of Players, and then there is the higher end line, called PureX.
